It’s A Pick Six! Large-batch Cocktails Perfect For Bowl Games

The bad news: The end of football is upon us. The good news: It’s bowl game time! Cheer on your alma mater with these six large-batch cocktails—they can be made ahead of kickoff, meaning no prep work will intrude on your tailgate rituals.

Patrón is here to make hosting easy this year. Our punches are easy to make and are easy to refresh if you run out mid-game. From citrusy to spicy, there’s a cocktail certain to be a crowd pleaser for your entire party. Whether everyone is cheering for the same team or the house is divided, one thing is certain: Everyone will be on team Patrón. 

The Chipotle Punch is perfect for the Fiesta Bowl, or any game that might get heated. A dash of authentic Mexican Oleo Scharum gives this sweet sherry-and-Patrón Silver punch a spicy kick. Add more if you think you (and your guests) can handle it.

Grab a glass of the fruity and sweet Pom Pom Punch to cheer on your team during the Sugar Bowl or to a sweet victory. The combination of apple cider and fruit punch—with Patrón Reposado, ginger beer, red wine and brandy—is the perfect  conclusion to the season.

The Framboise Sangria is the perfect punch for a gathering with divided fans. Combining unexpected flavors including raspberries, vermouth and Patrón XO Cafe makes this sangria a sultry choice on game day. Mix a big batch up to 24 hours in advance, and refresh it with lemons and mint just before game time.

Celebrate the Citrus Bowl with a large batch lemonade cocktail. Like a solid defensive end, you can count on Patrón Tequila and lemonade to have your back when you are hosting a party.

Whether your team is playing in the Rose Bowl, the Peach Bowl or something in between, the Patrón Peach Sangria is a bowl game staple. With peaches, blueberries and dry rosé, everyone's a winner. This sangria doubles as a celebration in a glass—or better yet, a giant bowl.

Imagine you and your crew are actually at the Hawaii bowl with the large batch Patrón Punch. This citrusy summer punch gets its might from Patrón Silver and three types of juices. On game day, top the batch with an extra squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

After the game, be sure to visit the Patrón Tequila Cocktail Lab for post-game celebration ideas and personalized cocktail recipes for the off-season.
